1. Introduction
The ABG10868 is a compact-size, high performance Bluetooth GPS receiver with elegant
mechanical design. The core of this elegant device is the SONY CXD 2951 GPS receiver IC
and the ST Micro 2415/2150 Bluetooth chipset.
The ABG10868 sports a high sensitivity of –152 dBm during tracking and –139 dBm during
acquisition. The average TTFF (time to first fix) is 2 ~ 3 sec. in hot start mode, 30 sec. in
warm start mode and 40 sec. in cold start mode. It also is capable of support WAAS/EGNOS.
This excellent performance really makes theABG10868 stand out.
The ABG10868 is a class 2 Bluetooth device, with range of 10 meters. It supports v1.1
Bluetooth Serial Port Profile, which ensures compatibility with all devices such as PDAs and
smart phones which also support the SPP Bluetooth Profile.
There are three LED indicators on the ABG10868 – a green (GPS) LED, a blue (Bluetooth)
LED, and a red (power status) LED. The green LED will be lit when the GPS receiver is in
acquisition mode, and will start blinking every 2 seconds when the GPS position is fixed (i.e.,
tracking mode). The blue LED will be blinking every 2 seconds when the Bluetooth is in
connection and be blinking every 8 seconds if the Bluetooth connection between the host and
ABG10868 is lost. The red LED will be blinking to indicate the battery power level is low,
on when charging the battery and off if the battery is fully charged.
The ABG10868 comes with a 1200 mAh rechargeable battery to ensure over 12 hours of
operating time between charges. It also incorporates an intelligent power management
scheme so that the GPS is turned off if before the Bluetooth connection is established, or when
the Bluetooth connection is lost. Together with the large capacity 1200 mAh rechargeable
battery, the operating time of the ABG10868 is much longer than most of the Bluetooth GPS
receivers currently on the market.
